What is the simplest defination for parenchyma, sclerenchyma , and squamous epithelium tissue.

Solution

The permanent simple tissue consisting of evenly thick-walled dead cells are named sclerenchyma. They are very hard and heavily lignified in nature Parenchyma is a term used to describe the functional tissues in plants and animals. This tissue is “functional” – performing tasks such as photosynthesis in plants

squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells in contact with the basal lamina (one of the two layers of the basement membrane) of the epithelium
